NY A09501

Expands insurance protections to prohibit professional liability insurers from refusing coverage, canceling policies, or increasing premiums for healthcare providers based solely on their legal prescription of abortion-related drugs in New York

Broadens the definition of "prohibited violation" to include investigations or proceedings seeking to impose civil or criminal liability, professional sanctions, or other legal consequences for any "legally protected health activity," including gender-affirming care

Requires New York-based persons or entities receiving out-of-state subpoenas or inquiries related to legally protected health activities to notify the Attorney General within five business days and wait 30 days before responding, unless a court order provides otherwise

Authorizes the Attorney General to bring civil actions or special proceedings to enforce protections, with courts required to assess a $10,000 penalty per violation for intentional, knowing, willful, or reckless compliance with prohibited out-of-state information requests

Aligns definitions of "reproductive health care," "gender-affirming care," and "legally protected health activity" with section 570.17 of the criminal procedure law to standardize protections across statutes
